Re: Will Telstars fit ls1? Yes, they will. You still have to grind the calipers. We put 15x4 and 15x8 on a friends 98 z28. Best looking drag race style wheel you can buy, imo. He gets many comliments and he has already had superlites and rodlites on the car. They do stick out about a 1/2 inch more than we would like, but not that noticable.

Re: Will Telstars fit ls1? Can't post any pics(I'm internet stupid <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" /> ). Best I could do is e-mail some, but that would be this weekend when I see the car again to take some shots with the digital camera. I have had two seperate sets on cars of my own,(non f-body) and can tell you that I think they are as light, if not a tad lighter than welds. They use a billet center piece. Another thing I can tell you is that they seem to hold up better that the welds. They rarely need any polishing and when they do it is a breeze compared to the other wheels. There are no rivets or holes to have to polish around. Takes about five minutes per wheel. As you can tell, I really like these wheels and just ordered my third set this week to go on a sbc powered s-10 I built.

Did you have to grind the fronts and backs? How much material did you have to take off? Thanks

Re: Will Telstars fit ls1? The Telstars are 1 lb heavier per wheel over the Draglites.
For pics, you can go to my website and see what they look like on a Mustang.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
